Muslim: I attacked 'out of love for Allah'
WND ^ | 16 March 2006

Posted on 03/15/2006 4:32:23 PM PST by Aussie Dasher

The North Carolina Muslim who drove an SUV into a group of people at the University of North Carolina has written a letter to a local TV station saying Allah approves of such attacks.

"Allah gives permission in the Quran for the followers of Allah to attack those who have raged war against them, with the expectation of eternal paradise in case of martyrdom and/or living one's life in obedience of all of Allah's commandments found throughout the Quran's 114 chapters," wrote Mohammed Taheri-azar in a two-page letter sent to a television reporter and anchor at WTVD-TV, an ABC affiliate in Durham.

"The U.S. government is responsible for the deaths of and the torture of countless followers of Allah, my brothers and sisters. My attack on Americans at UNC-CH on March 3rd was in retaliation for similar attacks orchestrated by the U.S. government on my fellow followers of Allah in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and other Islamic territories. I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead."

Taheri-azar, 22, was charged with nine counts of attempted murder and nine counts of assault after driving a rented Jeep Cherokee through a crowd of people in the Pit area on the Campus Hill campus March 3. Six of the victims were hospitalized.

After the attack, the UNC graduate called 911 and surrendered to police saying he wanted to "punish the government of the United States for their actions around the world." He said he had intended to kill the people he struck.

An Iranian native, Taheri-azar says he looks forward to defending himself in court to educate the public about "the will of Allah." He is being held in a maximum-security prison.

According to an AP report, Taheri-azar wrote in the letter that he started reading the Quran in June 2003 and has read it 15 times since.

A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations told the Associated Press Taheri-azar's claims of religious support for his actions are an old and repudiated claim.

"Islamic scholars have clearly and repeatedly stated that attacks on innocent civilians of any kind are prohibited by Islam and should be repudiated," spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said yesterday.

"There are people who have strange views about any number of faiths and they shouldn't be taken as representative of those faiths. The people who kill abortion doctors claim they are doing it in the name of Christianity and we all know it is a distortion of Christian beliefs."

After the incident, officials were reticent to call the attack terrorism.

"The only thing that makes this not look like a terrorist act is that he did a lousy job of it," Solomon Bradman, chief executive officer of the Miami-based Security Solutions International, told The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C.

UNC Chancellor James Moeser commented after the attack: "He was a good student. He also was very much a loner."

Really. He ran over college students at Chapel Hill. The most Liberal University East of San Francisco. If he aired his gripe and didn't run anyone over they would have seen the inherent advantages of diversity in his charachter. He would eventually get to teach a class on terrorism.

Just because he is incompetent and stupid does not mean he is not a terrorist.

"Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, Son thou art welcome. But I said, Alas, Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash. He answered, Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me. Then by reasons of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the Glorious One and said, Lord, is it then true, as the Ape said, that thou and Tash are one? The Lion growled so that the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, It is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath's sake, it is by me that he had truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost thou understand, Child? I said, Lord, thou knowest how much I understand. But I said also (for the truth constrained me), Yet I have been seeking Tash all my days. Beloved, said the Glorious One, unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek."

This is what really tees me off about CAIR. The language they use is very ambiguous. Note the "innocent civilians" - but what they don't say is the "infidel" is not considered "innocent." Therefore, in a lot of their tiny minds this guy wasn't acting outside the realm of Islam.

If they wanted to condemn this man all they needed to do is come out and say, "We condemn any and all acts of violence against anyone committed in the name of Islam." Any bets on how long we'll be waiting for that sort of statement from these terrorist-enablers?

"..victory will go to the Muslim, always! no matter how big of an infidel force is at hand, the Army of Allah, insha'Allah; will always prevail! khalas.. subhanuhu wa ta 'Ala says in the Qur'an: "If there is 20 amongst you, the muslims will vanquish 100, and if there is 100, verily they will vanquish 1000.." Allahu Akbar!"

I found this posted by a muzzie on a blog about US troops in Afghanistan... I thought it was pretty funny, so i thought id share it.

I had read somewhere, that the Pakistani Army actually taught this tenet of Islam as curriculum at their military academy.

Sold on the idea, their miltary launched four wars against India, only to find, that, NO, in fact, when your emeny has 3 to 1 conventional superiority in men, 5 to 1 in artillery and 4 to 1 in armour... along with air superiority and supremacy at sea... far from vanquishing anything, starting a war gets you your @ss handed to you.

But theyre not giving up yet.

I am reading the so called religion of peace "holy book" right now, and he is right. The thing does tell them to attack and kill the unbelievers on page after page. In fact, they are told they will not make paradise if they back down from the enemies.

What I don't understand is that they are saying this guy was "not really a Muslim". "Raised in the US from a young age". Anyone have any article that said he was a devote Muslim?

I'm surprised UNC hasn't named a building for him or endowed a scholarship in his honor. But sooner or later students in Chapel Hill will be wearing t-shirts emblazoned with photograph.

We need to rename a commercial meat grinder "The Love of Allah" and let him drive through that.
